Personally I think the storms occurs to often. As a player it can be fun at some time,
but not so often as it is now. It tends to come when a good price is in sight, or in the
middle of some important quest. I have made this file for my own game,and think
its are more reasonable and convenient to handle.
So if someone will like to try it, here it is. Goes to Program/Weather/init/whr generate values.

Yes I have done that a while ago. But I dont think it was made good enough.I takes times to see how it act
in the game and I was not satisfied with the old numbers. Its easy to change the numbers, but not so easy
to have experience with it in the game play.
Oh and yes I have reduced it a bit again.

Storms occur only if the value is above 95 and twisters only when above 98.
So if every value is lower than 95, then it could very well be that storms and twisters no longer occur in DirectSail at all....

Do you still encounter storms and twisters if you use purely DirectSail?
I think you can get them through WorldMap regardless of these numbers.

To be honest: I can't remember even one since I'm playing the actual version. I witnessed storms when I was on an island, or about to leave port from an island. Of course I did not set sail in a storm.

I encountered 2 or 3 storms when using world map sail. There,s torms seem to be quite frequent. (I rarely use world map at all, and when I do, I run into a storm quite often).

But, I did not encounter a storm while being at direct sail. I also very rarely encounter really bad weather (with rain and so)

No I haven't.
started this new game only a few days ago after not playing PotC for 2 years or so. Started ingame in may, now it is july.

And, from earlier playthroughs with older versions of this, I remember I sailed into storms while using direct sail, but very rarely. But, when I was in one, there were high chances to get just into the next storm after leaving the first. I remember Hylie Pistof mentioning that, too.
I think this is because if the weather is already bad, with high wind speed and rain, chances for storms are not so bad.
